Going Video – The Way Forward

July 29th, 2008

I am writing this post as i have recently been experimenting with the whole video phenomenon. While only just getting a grasp on normal SEO, i have decided to move onto bigger and better things through video!

Therefore i have uploaded my first video on YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn2qHvC51NE

I have also began using video on my training site, so for all those that are in Success University as part of my team, you can now log onto the net and do as you see, using my videos that teach you step by step how to promote on the net!

I will be adding a lot more of the video related marketing tactics here in the future so keep your eyes open, but just know- a new era has begun

Why Using An Ethical Business Opportunity Pays!

July 9th, 2008

With all the clutter out there in the world currently, we are experiencing an overload of information.
Companies find it harder and harder to make an impact on people, resorting to shock tactics and demeaning sexual innuendos on your television screen!

It is hard to know what companies to affiliate with, what companies to buy products from. Standing out from the crowd has had its fair share of challanges for a company. However when bombarded with so many shock tactics and negative images from the news; to find something that is truly positive and has a moral value is such a breath of fresh air.

Working with an ethical business opportunity has been known to pay such dividends because it inspires people and shows them that they truly can make a difference in the world. A break from traditional corporate culture; an ethical business opportunity allows an individual to grow to the exact level that he can grow to.
It allows the individual to change the status quo and contribute to making a change in the world. It evens the playing field. Many times it contributes to society and those less fortunate. An ethical business opportunity is called so because of its high moral values. Its commitment to making the world a better place in the future. A commitment to educate people for the better. A commitment to empowering people to make the necessary changes in their life and allowing them to be all they can be.
An ethical business opportunity may be rare, but once found is a beacon that many people will run behind.
I believe that true success is found through working in something you and the masses believe in.
Something an ethical business opportunity would provide!

Importance of Planning in SEO

July 7th, 2008

Alright just as a quick and dirty guide to SEO- Search Engine Optimisation,
I will just talk about the basics of trying to get to the top of google, and then the planning process that goes behind it:

First the main fundamental concept that you have to understand:
1. You are ranked based on your technical specifications, how you design your website, the keywords on your website etc.
&
2. You are ranked based on your popularity on the internet. Google judges that by seeing how many websites are pointing back to you!

Now too many people focus on one or the other; you need both & a good strategy to get there!

The first essential step is planning!
Choose a term that you would like to get into the top for;
so let us say i have an internet home based business that is available all over the world;

The first step of the process is doing my research to find out what keyword i would like to optimize my website for;
so go to google and type in internet home based business – there are 21 million results!
NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO COMPETE WITH!

Now what you need to do is try and find a term that has traffic but not too many organic results. So go to google sandbox and type in different keywords. Make sure they are searched (please note, the competition indicator tells you how much competition there is on adwords- which is not really relevant).
Once you have a specific keyword that people do search for, then go to google and see how many results show up for that term. (that is your competition in SEO). The less competition, the easier it will be, to get to the top!

The goal is a term that is searched for but not too many results show up for- try for at least 500, 000 general and about 12,000 exact- (hint: you search for exact terms by putting “quotation marks around your search term”

Let us go back to my previous example: Instead of optimizing for making money online, i optimized a website for ethical business opportunity

Check out the difference: business opportunity= 47,400,000 results (yes 47 million!!!!)
however my new project: ethical business opportunity: 853,000 results & only 9000 exact results!
Will keep you updated, just in the planning process at the moment.
To your success,

Muneer

Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki recommend Network Marketing

July 3rd, 2008

Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are names synonymous with wealth and helping others achieve financial freedom. Both Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump have written countless bestselling books seperately and have recently combined forces to write their book “Why we want you to be Rich”

They have been known to be the authorities on all things financial related. Donald Trump has seen the trump name come to the middle east with projects coming up in Dubai and Bahrain. Le Diamond properties was launched by Donald Trump’s wife Ivana Trump who only a couple of months ago was in Bahrain to promote their luxury projects.

Donald Trump & Rob. Kiyosaki Recommend Network Marketing

Donald Trump & Rob. Kiyosaki Recommend Network Marketing

Robert Kiyosaki best known for his Rich dad book series, as well as the game cashflow in all its forms, has helped millions of people around the world take better control of their finances. On a personal note i am particularly a big fan of Robert Kiyosaki, as his books served as a major starting point on my journey to achieve financial freedom.

In their new book, “Why we want you to be rich”, both Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki recommend network marketing. In fact they dedicate a whole chapter to recommending network marketing. A chapter that i have included as a link at the bottom of this post!

Sometimes i get asked when promoting Success University (which no-one will ever deny is anything less than an AMAZING product)- is the business system legitimate? & can it really work?
I understand their question because before i read books by Robert Kiyosaki I was extremely skeptical! Before i read books by Donald Trump i was skeptical. Before i read any of the other great financial self help books I was also still skeptical- so many of you ask, well why the change!

Well my way of thinking had gotten me certain results in my life, now if i wanted to change my results, i had to change my thinking, now if i wanted to get results like some of the richest people available, i had to think like some of them.

I had to take the advice of people like Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump who both recommend network marketing! I needed to stop listening to the guy at the corner store, my collegue at the office or my high school buddy. The way they thought were getting them the results that they were getting! I wanted the results that these wealthy financially free people were getting!

Rather than paraphrase the words of these great people, why don’t i let Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki tell you themselves why they recommend Network Marketing:

Compare Credit Cards In Bahrain

July 2nd, 2008

In todays section I am going to be looking at 7 different popular credit cards that are available in Bahrain.

The reason i am doing this is because many people often ask me about purchasing online. They also ask about the safety of using a credit card online in Bahrain, and ask where they can get a credit card in Bahrain and want to know the difference between all the different credit cards in Bahrain.

This posting is based on an article conducted by FACT magazine, and the figures and numbers are correct at this time, i.e. July 2008!

Firstly also worthy to note is that Credimax have internet prepaid purchasing cards, while available at certain banks. It is so much faster to go direct to Credimax and order from their main branch in Al Hedaya Building- which is located near the bbk branch at Baab Al-Bahrain.
It is possible to call them on: 17207207
This will take 4 days if you order directly with them
Ordering an internet prepaid credit card in Bahrain from any other branch (i dont want to mention names) has been known to be EXTREMELY inefficient and takes longer than two weeks!

OK lets compare the Bahrain Credit Cards:
1. Credimax credit card:
Phone number: 17207207
Interest: 1.8-1.85%
Minimum Payment: 5% or 10 B.D. (whatever is higher)
Annual charges: None

2. Ahli United Bank Bahrain Credit Card:
Phone number: 1758 5858
Interest: 2.5% – 1.75%(for gold credit card)
Minimum payments: 3% of outstanding
Annual Charges: 10 B.D. annual (first free)- None for gold card

3. BMI Bahrain Credit Card:
Phone number: 1721 8686
Interest: 1.6% – 1.5% (gold)
Minimum Payments: 5% of outstanding
Annual Charges: None

4. Citibank Bahrain Credit Card:
Phone number: 1758 2484
Interest: 2.59% – 2.69% (gold)
Minimum Payments: 2.77% or 10 B.D. (whichever higher)
Annual Charges: 25 B.D. – 50 B.D. Gold

5. HSBC Bahrain Credit Card:
Phone number: 1756 9991
Interest: 1.75 – 2.25% (depending on card, 4 types offered)
Minimum Payments: 5% or 10 B.D. (whichever higher)
Annual Charges: 20 B.D. (classic) 30 B.D. (gold)

6. N.B.B. (National Bank of Bahrain) Credit Card:
Phone number: 1721 4433
Interest: 1.84%
Minimum Payments: 5% or 10 B.D. (whichever higher)
Annual Charges: Free first year (contact bank for more info)

7. American Express Bahrain Credit Card:
Phone number: 1755 7755
Interest: 2.2%
Minimum Payments: 5%
Annual Charges: 60$ from second year onwards

The requirements for an Internet purchasing card are extremely relaxed:
Usually just a CPR

Requirements when applying for a credit card are usually:
Passport and CPR
Letter of Employment which states name, length of service, date of joining and salary
Also a bank statement

On a side note, i do not believe in racking up debt unnecessarily, and since this site is all about gaining Money Freedom, Time Freedom and Income Security, let me just say that there is a difference between good debt and bad debt.
Bad debt is buying consumer goods and even assets that ultimately make a financial strain on your income. Good debt on the other hand, is investing in property (not that you will live in) but that you can rent out and cover your expenses.
It is investing in a business opportunity in Bahrain, another country, or even online that will bring you an income which can cover your expenses and allow you to work at home Bahrain business opportunity that is taking the country by storm
